MEDICAL CENTRE

At
the Palmer Centre, our dedicated team of trained nurses provide round-the-clock
medical care for our girls throughout the term. Day girls
remain with their local GP but all the boarders are looked after by our
School doctors, who hold regular surgeries at School and will also
see girls at the Burdwood Surgery in Thatcham.

No girl likes being ill, especially when away from home, but in our purpose-built
centre, with its comfortable and homely rooms, girls are cared for until
they feel well enough to return to their Houses, and the nurses will keep
parents informed every step of the way, when a girl stays overnight.

Girls also have access to a range of specialist services, including asthma
management, nutrition advice, travel advice, including injections, physiotherapy,
chiropody, in fact any service you would expect to find in a well-run
local medical practice. Dentist, orthodontist and optician appointments
can also be arranged, although this is via house staff. The services of a counsellor are available to the
girls for advice and guidance when required.
